Sorry about the delay in this week's post...
Last weeks game against Butte College was a difficult one...on several levels. It was nice that at least we could follow the 'play-by-play' as delivered by a local newspaper sports reporter from Butte - unfortunately it was a little less than play-to-play, and it was all text on the Internet. We were pleased to see both Wes and Nate mentioned as they had some great tackles but, as expected, it was pretty one-sided coverage.
It was a tough game for the Golden Eagles...with only 163 total offensive yards against Butte's 532 total offensive yards, it kind of tells the story. The Golden Eagles just couldn't shut down the run and ended up losing their season opener 14-45.
Wes played Safety most of the first half until coach made defensive adjustments at half-time to try and contain the run. Wes saw action in the second half on special teams.
Wes ended up with six tackles which is pretty good considering he played safety and was 15+ yards back on every play - and Butte passed it very rarely. Nate had a good showing as well as a linebacker...7 tackles for him.
Tomorrow's game against Sierra looks to be a closer game. The Golden Eagle's won the game last year and the Wolverine's are much more of a passing team which means we hope to hear Wesley's name a few more times! The Wolverines lost last weeks game in OT 37-31 to Sacramento City College so I'm sure they will come ready to play.
The kickoff is at 1:00pm PST at Sierra College in Sacramento. I have spent significant time trying to find a radio station that will be broadcasting the game, unfortunately, I can't find anything. Earlier in the week, the FRC website noted that the game would be broadcast on radio and video via the internet...however, those links have disappeared so it would appear that we will have to see how things go after the fact...
I will be flying into Reno next Friday and will be attending the game next Saturday in Stockton, CA...if you would like mini-updates (I'm going to assume we won't have much radio coverage) via twitter or comment here on the blog - just let me know and I'll set something up. If I don't hear from anyone, I'll take pictures and have comments for that game and then next two (as I get to be at all three!!!).
Good luck Wes - we look forward to hearing all about your game at Sierra College...
